Earlier this year, I was tasked with coming up with a plan for a new and improved Guardian fashion site. So first of all, we did a bit of research to find out what readers wanted. More, was the answer. More to read on the website, more that speaks to you about about realistic clothing options and more advice on affordable trends.

As for today, the major difference you'll notice will be that the design has been updated. The reason for doing this is that the old design (so long, old friend) made it hard to present all the fashion content "above the fold". In my experience, news stories, features and galleries were easily lost, and the new design aims to make it easier for you to find all our lovely content. We also think it looks a bit nice too.

We also have a new feature launching at the end of September called Test the Trend, in which we ask readers to try out the latest fashions and report back on how it went. Email us with your name, age and location if you wish to take part. And as you may well know, London Fashion Week kicks off on Friday, and our team will be covering the event as it happens on Guardian Fashion's new Tumblr page (guardianfashion.tumblr.com)

So, let us know your thoughts on the redesign when it launches (at about midday) and also let us know your impression of our work on the blog so far.
